Most of the time, spots where the access is more challenging have more to offer, so I prefer theses.

It's a direct corralation betweent the amount (in minutes) it takes to get in, and the amount (in empty cans) of spray paint. Then you must live in a city. I See that distance from society also factors in heavily... But me, I prefer easy-entry-locations, but I'm lazy. However, a few months ago I worked for about 30 minutes to find myself an entrance, crawling between fences, into a location, then finding the location itself was not exciting at all (and terribly in view) - we left within 10 minutes Last week I went to another abandoned bridge. First, we walked on. Later, we decided to drive on it with the car Tijmen Posted by MapMan | 18/9/2005 19:25 | Hedy Lamarr made porn?

Getting past locks or climbing into third floor windows is fun; getting stopped by security is not. "I don't care if you're urban explorers or urban infiltrators or URBAN LEGENDS!"

Not that heavily as one might expect. Could it be that far enough from society even normal people become vandals. The amount of bullet holes in a crashed C-47 near the North Pole increase year by year. The altar of an abandoned church in Cambodian mountains has been turned into a guest book by tourists. Even spray-painted graffiti and tags can be found in remote locations where people don't usually visit. All information and details given in good faith but not guaranteed!

It requires wisdom to understand wisdom: the music is nothing if the audience is deaf. dsankt  Location: live and in the fresh  |  |  |  Re: Difficulty Levels <Reply # 12 on 12/12/2008 10:45 AM >   Rewarding hard bastard places that involve the following barriers to entry: * dodging security/workers/alarms * climbing/SRT * crawling, digging, squeezing * wading through the sewerfreshness * sneaking, hiding, motherfucking ninja shit * all of the above Personally I relish the challenge these barriers create, the higher and the greater obstacles the finer the victory. The hard can makes it good, rewarding. Difficult entry keeps out the vandals, the scrappers, noobs and those weak of spirit. Sometimes I wonder should we be protecting the sites from ourselves and the hordes of explorers suffering the 'location of the month' mentality? Difficult entries self-regulate a little in this respect. Plus I like pushing boundaries and limits, else why bother? Pussy-footing around in the middle ground of disabled-access sites seems like a waste of time to me. Time is finite, resources are finite, one should always be striving for bigger challenges that require new techniques, new skills and a different approach. sleepycity.net: watch out for the third rail baby, that shit is high voltage. urbex and urban exploration photography DjMalign  Location: Fort Collins, CO Gender: Male Sexy, sexy, sexy  |  |  Re: Difficulty Levels <Reply # 13 on 12/13/2008 1:35 AM >   You forgot to mention that every time you make us weep with your loc's your penis becomes more engorged with the tears of jealous explorers.

The only one with security measures is the aluminum smelter plant I've been dancing with, but even that only consists of a couple fences and a single security guard monitoring a dozen cameras. Its nice to not have to stress about getting into places, but to be honest I would love the high risk of infiltrating an active location... I've got two places in mind, but I don't know if I'm up to it yet. Oh how fun it is to sneak around undetected though... ;) http://devilslyric.deviantart.com/ Glass  Location: Chicago as one does  |  |  Re: Difficulty Levels <Reply # 15 on 12/13/2008 5:05 AM >   Difficult to make it worth it, but not so difficult that I can't take a pile of camera gear!

Once inside though the best things to see/photograph are always in the most hidden, hard to get to areas anyway and that’s usually a lot more work to do than just getting in the site to begin with.
